Hello, I’m Amber!
I’m a Chinese Canadian designer specializing in Graphic Design & Photography based in Vancouver.
ENTJ • Enneagram Type 1 & 3
My passion in design lies in branding & identity, exploring different design mediums, and creative direction. I value effective and compelling visual communication for memorable storytelling. With my multidisciplinary design experience, I have developed a proficiency in social media, photography, branding, and marketing. With my fashion & retail experience, I have trend awareness and the knowledge of how intentional branding creates a valued product and an elevated customer experience. As a designer with fresh eyes, I hope to explore my interests in design, build onto my skills and develop new ones throughout my budding career.
Outside work hours, I love shooting photos on my film cameras, crafting home cafe drinks, looking for visual inspiration on Pinterest, and enjoying the outdoors with my dog ( ´ ▽ ` )✧˖°
